Through Night’s Time

Alpha slakatub

I Dark and cold as it may be Strolls yonder for I am free Yet why do I feel I am alone? Why am I happy in the darkness’ zone?

II Windily chills come to a breeze Grief and sadness, I am to seize Growing fond, so weary and numb Through night’s time, I will succumb

III Aging as years come and go Loneliness forming high and low Through night’s time, I’ll have my bliss Though the world smells horse’s piss

IV In an outage of light, I feel calm In the dark, I read my palm Through night’s time, there is to build What’s inside that I have sealed

V As I wait for the light, I found joy In the darkness, I am his boy All throughout I have been there Feeling all my tear and care

VI Move on as I go, still left behind Through night’s time, I have gone blind Even silver linings grow to nothing As I can’t feel that I am something

VII The creator above I cried and called Having a surrounding my time has stalled Knowing they’ll cry if I put this all on a halt Having wounds pinched with grains of salt

VIII Through night’s time, I have realized In the darkness, I’ll be jeopardized I want to grip on to that very light I will claim it with all of my might

IX Free or not from this curse in me Through night’s time won’t ever be As I found new hope with my new rose That I’ll even protect from the rain of arrows

X The darkness in my dream slowly ceased As my rose grew in my heart, she leased Through night’s time will soon be dawn Having my very rose color my lawn
